-England v South Africa: Test, ODI and T20I series-

The decision against Kallis was extremely poor. He wasn't even touching the bat, and even then it hardly looked like the ball made contact with the glove either.

Very poor decision from the third umpire. No wonder Kallis didn't look happy.

Pretty much my sentiments as well, that was a terrible call from the 3rd umpire.

England doing well to keep SA in check, some early important wickets in the day has given them hope of winning this test although they need to get another wicket soon i think.

As for KP?? i think the ECB have done the right thing with him ie booting him out of the squad. Dont know what will happen next but i imagine a lot of the team arent too happy with his 'texts' to the SA players. I know hes made an apology but really this fool needs to reel in his attitude and his persona of everything revolves around him. Hes a great batsman but his crappy attitude lets him down.
 
At 105/5 I thought SA would do well to get 240, now I think they should be looking at around 280-290.

Great innings from Duminy, and it's allowed Philander to come in and have a swing from the other end. Both of them doing well at the moment.
 
In the past I've ranted about how commentators chat BS and often don't know what they're talking about.

Bumble has taken it to a whole new level today. David Gower named him the highest run scorers in Test Cricket: Tendulkar, Dravid, Ponting, Gavaskar, Lara and Kallis. He said they have 239 hundreds between them, and only 1 of these was scored at Lord's. Which batsman was it?

And Bumble says Lara. Wrong. Then Ponting. Wrong. Then Tendulkar. Wrong.

It was Dravid last year you muppet! Is your memory seriously that bad?

:confused: fancied a change, hope thats ok with you??

Strauss first wicket 29-1...will be interesting to see how Eng bat on this pitch as SA have some very good bowlers ie Morkel and Steyn to name but 2.
 
54-4 another one falls, this time Taylor. Similar to the SA first innings with wickets being taken at regular intervals.

Why oh why is this not a 5 match series? :mad::mad::mad:

It defies bloody description. The two best teams in the world seems to only deserve a three match series at the end of the summer. It doesn't do South Africa justice and it doesn't do the fans justice. Yet more ridiculous scheduling by the ICC.
